My Bio

To give you an overview, I have been heavily involved with the cryptocurrency scene since 2013. During this period I have been active throughout numerous communities to help distribute, promote and understand their work. I have also worked as a journalist and the CCO – in charge of external communications and partnerships to help expand our presence – for an online news based website.

I am also one of the Founders of BITNATION, coupling the possibilities brought about by blockchains and meshing them with the services that governments traditionally provide.

Since then I have moved on and now mainly speak at conferences and focus on blockchain adaptations itself, which are providing solutions to our many global limitations and problems.

“To implement any bitcoin technology within existing centralized state boundaries and laws would limit, and perhaps destroy the very thing it was designed to change.” — Amin Rafiee

Furthermore, I have been a part of numerous conversation that surround the regulatory aspect of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Moving forward – and this is what i would call an excellent example – we were able to use this to help refugees that are currently facing many issues in the EU region. I with the help of a few other people put together a website for stateless people who have no way of identifying themselves, their family members or accessing money. You can see the website here:
